the other hye days of the week
Capt. Griffin, In his report published In yester
days STAR says concerning the work Of street
cleaning: "Many people honestly believe that 1t is
the contractors duty TO keep the streets clean and
that IL is the Commissioners duty TO see that he
does 1t. This broad statement OF the case is en-
tirely erroneous" Undoubtedly the general belief
IS that IL is the duty OF the municipal authorities
10 make every effort to keep the principal streets
clean by asking SUFFICIENT appropriation for the
purpose from Congress, by carefully selecting as
their agent to perform the work trustworthy
and efficient man, by vigilantly inspecting the
work TO see that no defective cleaning passes
muster, and by reducing the debris to be removed
by prohibiting leaky dirt carts and the scattering
In the streets OF paper rags and miscellaneous
sweepngs from stores and houses. The
Commissioners, by various acts and regula-
tiOns. have shown an appreciation OF this duty.
OF course they cannot spend for this purpose
than Congress allows them, and are not blamable
for an insufficient appropriation II they have
asked for enough. But some method should be
devised Dy when sweeping, representing the full
amount OF the appropriation obtained, may be
given to the streets Of the city. Last year the
sum OF 81 So. 30 withheld from the contractor
for imperfectly executed work, which came to the
notice Of the authorities The numerous COM
plants made concerning the street-sweeping
would seem therefore TO have had foundation.
The city would much prefer that the appropria-
tion for sweeping should all go TO pay for q
thorough and faithful cleaning of the streets,
rather than that a part OF 1t should go into the
Treasury and the streets be imperfectly swept. A
contractor should be found who viii fairly earn
the whole appropriation by honest, thorough
work. WashingtOn's cleanliness Is one OF its main
attractions IN comparison with other large cities,
and neither It's Commissioners nor its people will
count time or money lost which IS spent IN pre-
serving that attraction.

The whole city OF Washington seemed to have
turned out last night 10 do honor to Alexander X.
Shepherd. Not even on an Inauguration day when
the city is flooded with visitors from all parts OF
the country has Pennsylvania avenue and the in
tersecting streets shown such solid masses OF peo-
pie. And the parade and pageant upon the
smooth streets OF shepherds creation was wonder
fully brilliant and effective. In the feeling and
appropriate little speech drawn from him by the
opportunities OF the vast throng that gathered
about the reviewing stand at the end of the
parade, Gov. shepherd said that this demOnStra-
tion Of regard repaid him for all the labor and
trouble he had in helping to rebuild the city Of
Washington This grand popular tribute might
We'll touch the sensibilitieS o. a man even OF the
robust mold OF Alexander R. shepherd, but the
people OF Washington and OF the whole country as

Capitol city from the mire and made 1t the pride OF
the nation

rs President Cleveland and wife are continu-
ing their grand tour through the West and South
and are enjoying themselves as it is their right
and privilege to do. The Democratic newspapers
of the country are sounding thepraises ofthe Pres
ident and are making all the political capital
possible out of the trip. But if he was Republi-
can instead of Democratic President travelling
through the country these same newspapers, as
they have never failed to do in the past would be
found bounding him at every turn, calling his trip
political junket, ""swinging around the circle,
and much else that would be calculated to belittle
the head of the nation. So in this as in other
things, it makes great difference whose OK il
being gored. We are glad the President is having
a good time and we hope that it will be his good
fortune to return safely. He is President Of the
whole people and as such he deserves the respect
and good will of every patriotic citizen.

~Last week THE UNION published the sub
stance of an advertisement which appeared in the
Baltimore Sun of Friday, 7th inst, purporting
to give an account of Democratic club meeting
in the 18th district, where, as stated in the ad-
vertisement, Mr.. George S. Keiffer, one of the
Independent candidates for Commissioner, had
publicly stated that he intended to support the
whole regular Democratic ticket except one can
didate, DC. Since then Mr.. Keiffer has published
a card in which he puts very different face on
the matter. He admits that he did address the
meeting, that he assented to every Democratic
truth uttered and that he would support the nom
mated State ticket, but that he did not declare
intended to vote the entire county ticket. He
says that several prominent Democrats (namin
theml "have used every means in their power to
get me off the Independent ticket, and have re-
sisted all their influences" He further says ~
am on the ticket to stay, and propose to do all in
my power to make it successful" From this it is
evident that somebody has lied, and that's all
there is about it.

~ Chairman Archer, of the Democratic State
Central Committee, as reported in the Baltimore
Sun, takes different view of the plan for con-
Quoting the election for or against new consti-
tuition from that generally believed to be the cor
rect one. He says, as reported, that it is elm
portant to bear in mind that in voting upon the
question of constitutional convention there must
be separate ballots and separate ballot-boxes, and
that sheriffs are required to furnish the ballots
and the boxes for the vote" 1t is generally be-
ieved that all tina. is required is to have the
words "for convention" and "against conven-
ton" printed at the bottom of the tickets and it
is evident that the Democrats Of Washington
county believe this be the correct plan as their
county convention ordered all their tickets to be
printed with the words "against convention"
on them. It would be well to have this matter
thoroughly understood, so that no mistakes occur.

Ne-A very large and enthusiastic ratification
meeting was held on Tuesday night at the club
house of the Baltimore County Republican Asso-
citation, on First street, in the Belt. The head
quarters were beautifully decorated with Chinese
lanterns, growing plants, &C., and presented a
beautiful appearance. Louis P. Hennighausen,
Esq, called the meeting to order, and Francis M
Darby, Esq, presided, with about fifty prominent
gentlemen as vice-presidents. Mr.. Darby was
the first speaker and delivered telling speech
which called forth frequent applause. He was
followed by Hon. Lewis E. McComas, of Hagers-
town, who received an ovation at the hands Of
the large crowd. He spoke in his usual forcible
and interesting style and gave complete and
comprehensive review of the sins of the Demo-
cratic party in this State, dwelling particularly
upon the frauds committed by that party upon the
ballot box, the tlickery of the registers, DC. The
meeting was great success, rejecting much
credit upon the members of the Republican Asso-
citation, who are heartily interested in the work
of the present campaign. sg.s9

N8> The subject of fair elections is now agta-
ting the minds of the people of Baltimore city and
it appears to be the all.absorbing topic. 1t is
evident that it is next to impossible to have an
honest eectionin that city, although strong efforts
in that direction are being made this fall. We
can well remember, and it has not been so many
years ago, when the grossest rascalities were
practiced at an election in Baltimore county, yet
nothing, or very little, was ever said about it, the
frauds having been SO well covered. But we hope
to live to see the day when those frauds on the
ballot-box will be exposed and that the men who
perpetrated them will be held up to the scorn and
contempt of every honest man. 1t is long lane
that has no turn, but the turn is sure to come

"GHOULs AND VAMPIRES.
A Democratic State Senator on the Party
in notwithstanding Letter from
Mr. BOwluS

Hon. Noah Bowlus, Democratic State Senator
from Frederick county, and one of the leading
party men of Western Maryland, has written q
letter to political friend in Howard county, in
which he says:
"The despicable cabal of mercenary political
traders have at length brought about open revolt
in the Democratic party; and the revolt is not
confined to Baltimore city, but extends over the
whole state, with the very probable result of
sweeping Republican success in the state and
county. Not few Democrats have openly de-
clared their intention to vote the county and
state Republican ticket as the speediest and best
way to rid the party of these vampires, and as for
the best interest of the party. AS for Baughman,
who very absurdy figures on the st ate ticket as a
fnancier, he will be merciessly cut here, and
worse in Washington county, and quite as heavily
in the balance of the counties of this congressional
district Unless he develops far more strength
over the state than Jackson, he will be surely de-
feated, as, in my opinion, he ought to be. would
regard it as a public misfortune, knowing his
caliber, if he should become comptroller. 1 do
not, however, believe he will reach the place. In
deed, have grave doubts whether any of the State
ticket will be elected. The dissatisfaction and
disgust at Gormanism and its villainies is too
general to permit the hope of Democratic success.
An overwhelming tidal-wave would not surprise
me. Attached as am to the party and its prin-
ciples, I deeply deplore the present situation
Yet, defeat may not be an unmixed evil Wemay
be purified and rise in greater strength hereafter.
Freed once from the grasp of the ghouls and vam-
pires who have been sucking our blood, we may
start anew in the battle for the benign and i'm
perishabe principles of the Democratic party, with
the certainty of ultimate success"

GOOD WORDS FOR Mr.. BROOKS.
A Presbyterian Minister on the Republi-
can Candidate for Governor.


Rev. J. Wynne Jones, pastor of the Abbott Pres
byterian Church, Highlandtown, 18th district, has
written q letter on tho subject of some charges
made by Mr. Bernard Carter, in speech delivered
at Democratic meeting at Canton, against Mr..
Brooks, Republican nominee for Governor. The
letter is in reply to one received by the Rev. Mr.
JONES' and is as follows:
"Your letter of the 10th instant is at hand
In reply, I would say that am well acquainted
with Mr.. Walter B. Brooks. In 1879 the Work
ingmen's Institute was organized at Canton, and
Mr.. Brooks was among its first and liberal sup
porters and continued to be SO to the end. 1t was
by his exertions that Canton obtained the Enoch
Pratt Branch Library. Churches of all denomi-
nations and every worthy enterprise for the ben
eft of the working classes sought his aid and OBJ
tanned it. Aspresident of the Canton Company,
a few years ago, when times we're hard and work
scarce, he urged the directors to reduce their rent
roll and thus the great pressure ON the poor,
and it was Immediately granted and rents reduced.
The thrifty poor falling to meet even the reduced
rent, were never pressed, and not one of them was
ever expelled or evicted for n-payment. Indeed,
I know of many widows whose hearts were made
glad by his kindness and generosity. During
the small pox in Canton four years ago Mr. Brooks
came to the parsonage and made inquiries about
the destitute sick, and gave at once a large sum
Of money for their relief. Ask the sisters of the
Catholic church, who often came to him in behalf
of their noble, heroic and sef-denying work, if
they ever called in vain? Ask even the needy
Hebrew if his calls we're unanswered. No. Mr..
Brooks has heart filled with charity, and none
but God and the receiver will ever known the full
amount of his great and many gifts. Living and
moving for nearly ten years among the people of
Canton, Wherein. Brooks is SO we'll known, afford
ed me an opportunity of seeing and hearing much
never known to others, and now I testify, without
hesitation, that I regard him as man of unim-
peachable character; honest faithful and fearless
in the discharge of his duties just to all, and par
tial to none. He treats fraud with severity, and
honesty with great kindness. He has proved
himself a true and great friend of the workingman,
but has no patience with idleness. His words are
few; and his actions always prompt and ener-
getic. "Whatever his hands find to do, he does
it with all of his might" and for the best interests
of all concerned. Igladly give you this testimony
in his defense Do with it as you please. If it
will be of any service in the campaign, use it."

in full blast and political matters will be lively
from now until the day of election. Weagain call
the attention of stump speakers and others to the
fact that nothing is ever gained by misrepresent-

proper, OF course, to discuss party matters, and

he should be exposed, but all purely personal
abuse should be avoided, as it generally recoils
